Pseudoalteromonas piratica strain OCN003 is a coral pathogen that causes a switch from chronic to acute Montipora white syndrome in Montipora capitata.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Reports of mass coral mortality from disease have increased over the last two decades. Montipora white syndrome (MWS) is a tissue loss disease that has negatively impacted populations of the coral Montipora capitata in Kāne'ohe Bay, Hawai'i. Two types of MWS have been documented; a progressive disease termed chronic MWS (cMWS), that can be caused by Vibrio owensii strain OCN002, and a comparatively faster disease termed acute MWS (aMWS), that can be caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus strain OCN008. M. capitata colonies exhibiting cMWS can spontaneously switch to aMWS in the field. In this study, a novel Pseudoalteromonas species, P. piratica strain OCN003, fulfilled Koch's postulates of disease causation as another etiological agent of aMWS. Additionally, OCN003 induced a switch from cMWS to aMWS on M. capitata in laboratory infection trials. A comparison of OCN003 and Vibrio coralliilyticus strain OCN008, showed that OCN003 was more effective at inducing the cMWS to aMWS switch in M. capitata than OCN008. This study is the first to demonstrate that similar disease signs on one coral species (aMWS on M. capitata) can be caused by multiple pathogens, and describes the first Pseudoalteromonas species that infects coral.
